[quote=BobEldritch;1238065]...Athough I would like to know whether and, if so in some detail, how this preferred direction in the microwave radiation could be consistent with a spiral cosmos. From what I gather so far it sounds as though it would be consistent.

By considering a wide range of observable evidence, the basic Big Bang theory and the shortcomings of existing theories that only assume the action of the known forces, I'm quite convinced that a detailed and consistent cosmological theory can be developed of a nonlocally acting cause and its effects and that measurements could be made and experiments developed to test this theory.

So given present theory, there is problem in explaining the formation of cosmic voids. Whereas in the early universe soon after matter first became atomic, a nonloca cause that is a reflection of the Big Bang could act on the gasious matter by pushing it outward from vacuum centres. Then this process would produce concentations of this matter by it being sqeezed between the voids into filamentary structures and walls. As this matter moves together the nonlocal cause could the act so as form it into galaxies. The form conserving action of the cause would then conserve the galaxies' spiral forms and their cluster formations.

There could also be considered a problem of how matter concentrated into the first stars of protogalaxies, whereas the action of a nonlocal cause could explain this.

One way of testing thius theory would be if the further caise generates a sigmificant amount of energy in stars like the sun. One kind of evidence for this extra energy could be the extreme heat of the Sun's corona. In which case sufficiently sensitive experiments may be able to detect significantly fewer neutrinos than predicted by present theory.
